I have a suggestion for another powerful api: one that returns all current information about an active game:- Who owns which country and with how many armies- How many spoils does each player have- Who's turn is it currently and how much time does he still have to finish his turn- Which cards do I have: only available for the logged in person of course- What is the worth of the next set (for escalating games)

Why do I want this information? I made my own private BOB. One which calculates my chances and gives me advice what to do. Currently I have to save the HTML of a game everytime and screenscrape the information out of it.

You would think that someone with your smarts wouldn't need advice from a script in order to play the game effectively.

For now the API is read-only and just lists games, but is a big improvement over the old Game History XML. For one thing, you can now get games for any tournament. Hopefully this will lead to cooler tools for tournament organizers and everyday members like you.
